If yes, check this out - he’s willing to let it go for less than 146 million credits.

It’s got a Class 2 hyperdrive system still in working order with a backup Class 8. SFS I-a2b solar ionization reactor is in good to excellent shape.

I’m picturing someone hunched over a keyboard, typing frantically, while someone stands over them screaming “ADDITIONAL HUMOUR!! MORE! MORE! MORE!” while occasionally whipping them. ---

If he’s willing to remove that planet that’s stuck to the front of it, I’d be interested. I have a drone problem I’d like to clear up. ---

Judging by the parking, I would say the previous owner was Major Asshole. (OK - different movie. But Brooks is always appropriate) ---

One question: What the heck is a “moisture farm”? Oh…two questions: Why would an alien battleship land there? Wait. Is he feeding the crew? They have to be hungry by now. ---

Last time I bought a Star Destroyer there was a freighter stuck to the back of the bridge. What a piece of junk, I thought. It even had a broken warp drive. Caveat Emptor strikes back. ---
